Description
Lessons Without Limit is not just another book about school reform but a highly readable guide to transforming the entire experience of learning across a lifetime. Free-choice learning is all about what you choose to do in your learning time. We learn every day—at home, at school, at work, and out in the world, from books, in museums, watching television, hearing a symphony, building a model rocket. Our motivations and expectations change over our lifetime but learning never stops. This book will give you a new understanding of the learning process and guide you in maximizing your lifelong learning journey.

Falk and Dierking are the founders and directors of the Institute for Learning Innovation in Annapolis, Maryland. They challenge readers to redefine traditional notions of education, envisioning for the U.S. not a "school system" but rather a "learning system," which utilizes all the educational resources of communities to facilitate lifelong learning experiences at all ages and stages in an individual's development. The text explores the what, why, where, and when of this "free-choice learning," offering the reader practical examples of how it might be achieved. No subject index. Annotation c.
